Community Programs & Special Funds


 

In addition to opening a fund with the Delaware Community Foundation, there are many ways you can help address community needs in the First State. You can join others with a shared area of interest through our Collective Giving circles, Special Funds and Coalition Initiatives. You'll find each one of these avenues will offer you the ability to become involved in local philanthropy, in an affordable way.

Our Fund For Women, African American Empowerment of Delaware, The Next Generation and Youth Philanthropy Boards all demonstrate the power of Collective Giving and philanthropy in supporting the causes they care about. For more information about our giving circles, simply click on the name to go directly to their webpage.

Special funds provide continuing support for community initiatives, like the Governor's Consortium on Hispanic Affairs supported by the Arsht-Cannon Fund, endowed by the late Honorable Roxana and Samuel Arsht and under advisement by their daughter Adrienne Arsht. The Governor's Consortium supports studies, projects and grants that address the greatest unmet needs of Hispanic Delawareans.

The Foundation's program grants support Coalition Initiatives that are created to address current community needs through the collaboration of state agencies, nonprofit organizations and concerned citizens, like you. This year's initiatives include Delaware's Anti-Hunger Coalition and the Delaware Lifespan Respite Network. For more information on these initiatives, please contact Beth Bouchelle, Director of Grants by calling 302.504.5239 or email bbouchelle@delcf.org.
